Consistency the Key for Coker Softball
HARTSVILLE, S.C. – One thing that has always been consistent about Coker softball under the tenure of coach David Hanna is winning. With 744 wins in his 21 years as coach, Hanna knows what it takes for a team to be great, and coming into this season he expects nothing different.
"Our goal is always to win the conference and move on to the regional tournament," he said. "But more importantly, you want to have a productive year, have the girls work hard and keep everyone healthy."
Heading into their first season in the South Atlantic Conference, the Cobras look to keep up the success they saw last season. They finished 26-18 with a 12-8 in-conference record. Last season was highlighted by an eight-game winning streak in March which ignited the Cobras to 16 wins in a 25-day span.
However, they will be facing some tougher competition this season. Atop the preseason conference standings are projected champion Lenoir-Rhyne University and Anderson University, which is ranked No. 20 in the latest NCAA softball poll.
"I would say that you could label either Lenoir-Rhyne or Anderson as the favorite," said Hanna. "Lenoir-Rhyne won the conference tournament last season and advanced to the regional tournament along with Wingate and Anderson. It will be a tough title to win this year, that's for sure."
With six seniors on this year's team, the Cobras will rely heavily on veteran leadership. Most notable of the seniors are catcher Stacy Burr, pitcher Lauren Phillips and center fielder Sydney Weatherford. Burr was a catalyst for a solid Cobra defense last season, as she tallied a .984 fielding percentage and allowed no passed balls. Phillips, who is set to be the ace of this year's pitching staff, finished last season with a 13-10 record and a 2.53 ERA. Weatherford was a second team all-conference selection last season as she batted .305 and drove in a team-high 37 RBIs.
"Lauren Phillips will need to have a good season, as she is the leader of our pretty young pitching staff," said Hanna. "It's also important that Sydney and Stacy have big seasons in the field as well as at the plate."
It is always essential to prepare underclassmen to fill in eventual vacant roles left by graduating seniors. That is never more evident than this season for the Cobras' pitching staff. After Phillips and Logan Cox, a junior who also plays second base, the rest of the pitchers are freshmen, including Tabitha Allen and Carley Bailey. They will be part of the underclassmen expected to make an immediate impact this season.
"Tabitha and Carley are a couple of freshmen who will see playing time," said Hanna. "Tabitha will see a good bit of time on the mound, and when Carley is not on the mound she will be a shortstop."
Last season, the Cobras batted .258 as a team with a team ERA of 2.66. That continued balance at the plate as well as in the circle will be needed if the Cobras want to see repeated success.
"We have to be consistent for us to be successful," said Hanna. "One week our hitting will be good and our pitching will be struggling, and the next week it will be completely flip-flopped. We can't have that inconsistency and expect to be successful. The one thing that has been stable throughout, though, is a solid defense."
The Cobras will see tough competition right out of the gates. They head to the Hampton Jordan Classic in Orangeburg, S.C., where their tournament schedule is headlined by games against USC Aiken and Division I South Carolina State. They conclude a seven-game opening weekend with a doubleheader against Lander University.
"I think a front-loaded schedule like this will really open the eyes of the players, especially the younger ones, to how tough some of the competition is and what we have to do to get to that level," said Hanna. "I feel like the more you play, the better you will be. Hopefully it will get us to where we want to be."
The softball team gets its season underway Feb. 7 against USC Aiken at the Hampton Jordan Classic. Its first home game is Feb. 16 against Columbia College.

Air Baron is the dice rolling, airport controlling,
game where anyone can be claimed the greatest success the skies
have known. Come join us and see how your approach to dominating
the airline industry compares.
Common Tactics Options:
Buy a single spoke in many hubs, providing a solid base of
income. This improves your ability to keep cash on hand for further
purchases, while reducing your threat to your opposition.
Focus your efforts on two or three key hubs and gain total
domination in these markets. This creates multiple bases for
you to launch your carefully timed strategy and take over the
weaker surrounding hubs.
There is always the appeal of a hostile takeover approach.
Gain some quick cash and enter Fare Wars using your funding to
literally roll over the competition. This forces your opponent
out of spaces and you gain control and the potential revenue
the spokes once provided to them.
Patience is a virtue, and perhaps the harmonious path to victory.
Build your bankroll and store the Jumbos in your hanger. Having
them ready to fly at a moment's notice can greatly impact the
game. Keep the engines warmed and dispatch them at the right
moment to take control of your competitors' hubs and claim your
victory "right out of the blue".
Do not neglect the very prosperous foreign travel market.
Set course with your sole SST, or take a $20 million loan to
tap into the wealth that overseas travelers bring. In either
case the funding potential foreign markets bring is unparalleled
and cannot be ignored.
Format: Four (4) qualifying heats, semi-final and Final
(all 3-hr limit)
There is no Air Baron session for juniors at WBC this
year, but it is a family game that children 10 and over can play
competitively. Everyone is invited to join in this great family
style game of airport acquisition and intrigue to determine the
next WBC supreme Air Baron!
To lessen adjudication problems, the event will use the following
1) The first calamity marker placed in the cup will be drawn
from the Crash, Local Competitor, Strike and Recession chits.
The Fuel Hike marker is then mixed with the remaining calamities
and they are randomly distributed to the market share chart normally
- ensuring that the Fuel Hike will not be the first Calamity
in the cup and giving players longer to become established.
2) Remove the Fuel Hike chit from play when it is drawn after
the two-hour mark. These two changes should lessen the impact
of the Fuel Hike Calamity and the resulting probability of games
running past the time limit.
3) Five-player games will be the norm although other versions
will be played in the Heats as necessitated by size of the field
and number of games available. However, advanced rounds will
always advance a multiple of five. Check the event kiosk for
Alternate status.
4) 25 winners will advance to the semi-final round for five games
with the winners advancing to the Final. Should less than 25
players opt to advance, sufficient 4-player games will be played
to accommodate the field. Those playing in 4-player games (as
opposed to 5-player games) will be selected at random. Should
less than 20 players appear, only the top multiple of five will
advance (e.g., 15 of 19 will generate three semi-final games
with the last four players cut). If less than five games are
played in the semi-finals, sufficient runner-ups (based on percent
of the winner's score) will advance to fill the Final with five-players.
If only one semi-final game is played, it will become the Final
ADVANCEMENT TIE-BREAKERS: In Multiple Entry, Single
Elimination events for multi-player games, players possibly qualify
for Single Elimination play in the second round by winning any
of up to four preliminary Heats. Occasionally, players may advance
wihout winning a heat. Players can enter one or more Heats without
limit. All events for most multi-player games consist of three
rounds; an opening Round consisting of two to four Preliminary
Heats, a semi-final and a Final. The sem-ifinal round will advance
a predesignated optimum number of players to fill the second
round; i.e., 25 players for a five-player game, 16 players for
a four-player game, etc. but in all cases will advance no more
than half of all players which participated in the Preliminaries.
If insufficient players advance to warrant a semi-final round,
the scheduled semi-final will instead become the Final.
HSW TIE-BREAKERS: A Preliminary Heat win will NOT in
itself guarantee advancement. All MESE events will advance the
optimum number of players to the next round based on the following
tie-breakers without exception:
1. Win in first Heat entered
2. Most Wins
3.Win in second Heat entered
4.Win in third Heat entered
5.Win in fourth Heat entered
6. Has brought a copy of the game if needed for next round; otherwise
highest non-winning position followed by highest % of the winning
7. Average finish in all heats entered; e.g., a 2nd and two 3rds
= 2.67 and beats two 2nds and two 4ths (average: 3)
8.High dice roll
"Win and you're in" is no longer a given although
it is a strong possibility. This system of tie-breakers encourages
repeat play in Heats without requiring it. A single win (especially
in the first Heat entered) will probably advance that winner
but is not guaranteed to do so. Conversely, players who continue
to play additional heats after winning a Preliminary game only
enhance their chances of advancement without damaging their prospects,
but a player who wins their only Preliminary game will probably
advance without investing further time in Preliminary play. Meanwhile,
non-winners who continue in Preliminary Heats will have additional
chances to qualify in search of that elusive first win since
in most events, a single win will still advance you to a semi-final
round since alternates are often required to fill the field.

What Does the Health Law Mean for You? Your Questions Answered
On Jan. 1, the key provisions of the Affordable Care Act took effect. Americans gained access to new health plans subsidized by federal dollars. Insurers can no longer turn away people with existing conditions. Millions are now eligible for new Medicaid benefits.
But the federal law also upended health-insurance arrangements for millions of people. For many, it has been a confusing and frustrating experience. Throughout 2014, the Wall Street Journal is following stories of people affected by the health law, from industry executives to consumers to care providers. Readers can submit their story as well by going here.
On Tuesday, February 25 at 3:00 p.m. ET the Wall Street Journal's Anna Mathews will be joined by Karen Pollitz, a senior fellow at the Kaiser Family Foundation, Mike Stahl, senior vice president at HealthMarkets, and Adam Okun, senior vice president at Frenkel Benefits, to discuss the health law, what it means for consumers and employers, and answer reader questions. You can comment below, tweet us at @WSJhealth or ask a question during the video chat by signing in with Twitter, Facebook, or joining as a guest.

That's right "kiddies" today we're celebrating yet another Centennial celebration! 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouting in the United States. On March 12, 1912, a century ago, Juliette Gordon Low (Daisy to her friends:) founded the Girl Scouts of America in Savannah, Georgia. By all accounts, Juliette Gordon Low was a remarkable women (that's her in the middle) and as much as I would love to share her contributions to Savannah's rich history, we have cookies to talk about. Girl Scout Cookies that is:) Perhaps I will return to Juliette Low's life on her birthday in October. In the meantime, let's talk cookies.
Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low assembled 18 girls from Savannah, Georgia on March 12, 1912, for a local Girl Scout meeting. She believed that all girls should be given the opportunity to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually. With the goal of bringing girls out of isolated home environments and into community service and the open air, Girl Scouts hiked, played basketball, went on camping trips, learned how to tell time by the stars and studied first aid." (Girl Scouts of the USA website)
By all accounts, Juliette Gordon Low was a remarkable women (that's her in the middle) and as much as I would love to share her contributions to Savannah's rich history, we have cookies to talk about. Girl Scout Cookies that is:) Perhaps I will return to Juliette Low's life on her birthday in October. In the meantime, let's talk cookies.
The History of Girl Scout Cookies begins in Oklahoma.
Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma is proud to have a special place in Girl Scout history. Girl Scout Cookies® had their earliest beginnings in the kitchens and ovens of our girl members, with mothers volunteering as technical advisers. The sale of cookies as a way to finance troop activities began as early as 1917... The earliest mention of a cookie sale found to date was that of the Mistletoe Troop in Muskogee, Oklahoma, which baked cookies and sold them in its high school cafeteria as a service project in December 1917. By the 1920s, Girl Scouts in different parts of the country were baking their own simple sugar cookies with their mothers. These cookies were packaged in wax paper bags, sealed with a sticker, and sold door to door for 25 to 35 cents per dozen. (source)
An Early Girl Scout Cookie® Recipe
Girl Scout Council
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar plus additional amount for topping (optional)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
Cream butter and the cup of sugar; add well-beaten eggs, then milk, vanilla, flour, salt, and baking powder. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Roll dough, cut into trefoil shapes, and sprinkle sugar on top, if desired. Bake in a quick oven (375°) for approximately 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges begin to brown. Makes 6 to 7 dozen cookies.
In 1922, a Cookie recipe was provided by Girl Scout council leader Florence E. Neil in The American Girl Magazine. The cookies she suggested, could be sold for 30 cents per dozen. You can find an adaptation of the original recipe, with tips, at Serious Eats. Or, you can view the magazine recipe yourself here.
By the 1930s, Girl Scout Cookie production went commercial!
In 1933, Girl Scouts of Greater Philadelphia Council baked cookies and sold them in the city's gas and electric company windows. Just 23 cents per box of 44 cookies, or six boxes for $1.24 helped girls develop their marketing and business potential and raise funds for their local Girl Scout council program. In 1934, Greater Philadelphia became the first council to sell commercially baked cookies. A little over a year later, another large troop, the Girl Scout Federation of Greater New York raised money by selling commercial cookies and it was them who, buying their own trefoil shaped die, had the words "Girl Scout Cookies" printed on the package. (source)
Let's jump ahead to the sixties (late sixties that is:) and the time when I was a Girl Scout:) I'm not sure whether this booklet published by the Campbell's Soup Foundation is from the 60s or later but I just had to share it with you. To be perfectly honest, I'm not really how long I've had it:)
From the introduction:
Cooking With A Purpose
The food you prepare does more than satisfy hunger. It shows how you feel about your family, your troop, your friends, younger or older people. Your effort is reflected in the attractive way you serve your prepared food. Cooking skill can help you put into practice your motto "Be Prepared" and parts of the promise and laws. Of course you recognize these as among the purposes of scouting. Here are many food ways to practice your purpose, contributing to badge earning and your own satisfaction as a Scout.
Here are ideas to help you do the things that individual badges stand for, and to do them often enough, thoroughly enough, and well enough to be prepared to give Girl Scout service.
For girls earning their Outdoor Cooking Badge, these recipes were recommended.
Did you notice there are no S'mores included in the above recipes? S'more's are as much a part of Girl Scout history as The Girl Scout Handbook of 1927, where the first recorded version of the recipe was found. Thankfully, Janet @ Dying for Chocolate had more to say about their history on National S'more Day. (Last year we celebrated National S'more Day stuffing our faces:)
Now for the really good stuff; The Cookies! What's your favorite? And, what does it say about you?
See that sunny yellow box of cookies in the middle? Those are this year's 100th anniversary introduction; Savannah Smiles. Some say they remind them of another Girl Scout cookie they miss called Lemon Coolers. Little Brownie Bakers, one of the companies that makes the Girl Scout cookies, (the other is ABC/Interbake Foods) explains the newest creation was named for founder Juliette Gordon Low's hometown: Savannah, Georgia. The company describes the cookie as "cool and crisp, with just the right number of lemon chips to deliver tiny bursts of flavor."
Since I have never tried either, I'm not much help. (Marion & I will be nibbling on a few tonight:) I can, however, tell you there have already been recipes developed using this latest addition.
I found the following recipe for Savannah Smiles Mousse at the Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana website where you can download the entire 2012 Desserts First Louisville recipes for free. Many of the recipes were created with help from local restaurant chefs.
Savannah Smiles Mousse
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
¾ cup of sugar
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup of ground Savannah Smiles cookies
7 large egg yolks
4 oz./1 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup heavy cream
In a large heatproof bowl, combine the sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and ground Savannah Smiles cookies with the egg yolks. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and cook over moderately high heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter until melted and incorporated. Strain the lemon curd into a bowl and press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface. Refrigerate the curd until chilled, about 2 hours. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, whip the cream until firm. Fold the whipped cream into the lemon curd.
The fundraiser is a dessert contest in which Girl Scouts team up with area chefs to make a dessert using Girl Scout cookies. Here's what the Girl Scouts of the Missouri Heartland came up with.
I've also found a few more recipe links for you to explore that either use Girl Scout cookies as an ingredient, just in case you should find yourself with leftovers, or if you're feeling really creative you can attempt making your very own. I didn't want to impose again on other bloggers so rather than "grab" their pictures and links, I'll just provide the links.

If you think leftover Girl Scout Cookies are only worthy of decadent desserts, check out this recipe for Girl Scout Samoa Curry Arancini, one of the many winners of the Girl Scouts of Western Washington Food Blogger Recipe Contest.
I would like to thank the two adorable Brownies who provided me with these delicate delights and their wonderful mom's who were more than intrigued when I mentioned I found a recipe which included Savannah Smiles as an ingredient. (they were also delighted to know we celebrated the Oreo Birthday a few days ago:) Unfortunately because of all the chatter we shared I forgot to get their names:) Thanks girls!
The picture of Juliette Low's birthplace at the top of the page was scanned from a wonderful cookbook in my collection titled the Savannah Sampler Cookbook by Margaret Wayt DeBolt copyright 1978. It is darned with Savannah folklore, wood cuts and tempting southern recipes. It also happens to include a recipe for Girl Scout Brownies provided by the Girl Scout Council of Savannah.
If for some reason you crave that Girl Scout Cookie goodness from your favorite variety but are perhaps watching the pounds and the ingredients, you might be surprised to learn Lip Smacker launched Girl Scout Cookie lip gloss in many of your favorite flavors. You might be able to find them at Walmart too!
There are lots of celebrations coinciding with the Girl Scout Centennial Celebration. Not only in Georgia but all over the country, and some parts of the world. If you visit any of the links I've provided above, I'm sure you will be well on your way to local celebrations in your area. I happened upon an intriguing ad in a travel guide (PDF file) while online the other day. I can't remember where it came from but I simply had to include it for all you Paula Deen fans out there especially since she too is a native of Georgia.
"Once I showed up at my sister's with a baby rabbit I had bought from some children because its ears were cold. I put the rabbit on a hot water bottle and massaged its ears for quite a while. After all, I knew that all healthy animals had warm ears." ~Juliette Gordon Low~

How Outlook, CDO, MAPI, and Providers Work Together
Topic Last Modified: 2005-09-15
by Jason Nelson
When you diagnose problems with Microsoft® Exchange Server, particularly Exchange Server clients such as Microsoft Outlook®, or API consumers such as server applications, it is common to encounter confusion about which components are actually doing the work for any particular operation. It's common to hear descriptions of connection problems, address resolution problems, and even calendaring issues as "MAPI problems."
For purposes of this article, the following terms and definitions will be used:
MAPI will generally mean MAPI32.dll, or the APIs contained therein.
MAPI is a glue API, implemented largely in MAPI32.dll (Messaging Application Programming Interface, 32 bit build).
In MAPI, developers implement a series of Providers. Providers come in three major types, Transport Providers, Message Store Providers, and Address Book Providers. Providers are DLLs that implement a specific pseudo COM API, such as IMessageStore, and the underlying required interfaces, such as IMAPIProp.
A MAPI application simply means any application that uses the MAPI calls. MAPI applications work against sets of data sources grouped into Profiles. Profiles are created, saved, and deleted by the Profile Provider. The Profile Provider is implemented in MAPI32.dll in two forms:
The temporary profile provider, which stores profile data in temp files.
The normal profile provider, which stores profile data in the registry.
An empty profile gives a MAPI application no data access, so MAPI applications add Providers (also called Services) to the profile. A common thing for MAPI applications to do is add services for EMSMDB and EMSABP to a profile, granting the ability to access data from Exchange Server. Providers do all of the actual work in MAPI. When you submit a message, although the call might pass through MAPI32, it is EMSMDB (or your provider) that does the actual work for sending. When saving a message, it is not MAPI32 that saved the message; it's the message store provider (usually EMSMDB for Exchange Server). When you resolve a recipient, it is not MAPI32 that searches for the user in the address book. It is the Address Book Provider, implementing the IAddrBook interface (probably EMSABP).
Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) refers to CDO.DLL, not CDONTS, CDOSRV, CDOSYS, CDOEX, EXCDO, or CDOEXM.
CDO and Outlook are both MAPI applications, meaning that they use MAPI APIs to access their data and, therefore, the underlying providers. CDO and Outlook share a common set of Properties that, when taken together, define different classes of messages and different functionality. This works similar to the schema in a database; however, MAPI32 does not implement the storage. The Message Store Provider does. In the case of Exchange Server, this provider is EMSMDB, and Exchange Server is mostly agnostic about the semantics of the data that applications choose to store. Exchange Server 5.5 has almost no knowledge of individual named property meanings. Exchange 2000 Server and Exchange Server 2003 are considerably more aware of the significance of particular named properties on different message classes, in particular, calendar items. This logic is implemented in EXOLEDB and EXCDO. In general, it is up to users of a particular set of properties to agree on what those properties mean and how they are manipulated.
CDO implements an API to manipulate sets of properties together to accomplish tasks, such as scheduling a meeting. Outlook also implements APIs to manipulate sets of properties, and does presentation of that data to the end user. If CDO and Outlook don't agree on what particular properties mean, or on the mechanisms used to control processing logic (for instance, when an appointment has been updated), potential for problems interoperating between Outlook and CDO exist. Although Outlook continues to be updated and expanded with every version, CDO.dll is more or less static at the same level of functionality it has possessed for years. Newer libraries for manipulating calendar data, such as CDOEX, are considerably more up to date.
EMSMDB refers to the Exchange transport provider, EMSMDB32.
One example of a provider is EMSMDB2, the "Electronic Messaging System Microsoft Data Base, 32 bit build" provider. EMSMDB implements both a transport and a message store and, as such, is a dual provider.
The transport is the ability to submit messages to Exchange Server; the message store is the ability to read (and possible write) messages to an Exchange store process.
EMSABP refers to the Exchange address book provider, EMSABP32.
The other common provider involved with Exchange Server is EMSABP, which is an Address Book Provider (Electronic Messaging System Address Book Provider, 32 bit build). EMSABP implements IAddrBook and allows access to the Exchange global address list through Name Service Provider Interface (NSPI).
It is important to understand how the components communicate with each other. For example, an application (for example, ScheduleMe.exe) uses CDO, with the intention of scheduling a meeting. Here is a high level overview of what happens. Please note that this is very much abbreviated; there are numerous interactions at each point not relevant to the overall goals of this discussion.
Application uses MAPI32's profile services to create a profile and add EMSMDB and EMSABP to it.
Application asks CDO to log on to that profile.
CDO uses MAPI APIs (MapiLogonEx) to log on to the session. CDO is also capable of calling the appropriate APIs to create a profile and populate it with Exchange Server services, dependent on the parameters used to log on.
Application asks CDO to create a meeting request.
CDO uses MAPI interfaces implemented by EMSMDB to access storage for what we will call "a message."
CDO uses MAPI interfaces (IMapiProp) implemented by EMSMDB to set a set of default properties that Outlook and CDO agree constitute "a meeting request."
Application supplies the appropriate values for subject, location, time, and so on.
CDO uses MAPI Interfaces (IMapiProp) to set the properties that Outlook and CDO agree represent those data bits, as well as any intrinsic properties needed to support this.
Application calls CDO API to send the meeting request.
CDO uses MAPI Interfaces (IMessage::Submit) implemented by EMSMDB to send the message, in the process using APIs implemented by EMSABP (ResolveNames) to resolve the recipients.
EMSMDB32 uses a private remote procedure call (RPC) interface to submit the message.
Application releases CDO objects.
Application deletes profile through MAPI APIs (CDO will do this deletion if it created it).
MAPI32 deletes profile.
Change control is essential for good server management, and most administrators do not apply random fixes to servers for experimentation purposes. However, when troubleshooting certain classes of problems, updating the involved binaries makes a lot of sense. (We will ignore issues of memory leaks or heap corruption; in those cases, it is unlikely that an argument can be made against updating if any such fixes have been made in more recent builds.)
Take for instance, deadlocks. Deadlocks could be caused by anything in the application chain: the application, the top level API (CDO), the glue layer (MAPI32), or the providers (EMSMDB/EMSABP in this instance). Updating MAPI32 (the dll for the glue layer), CDO.dll (the .dll for the top level API), the providers (EMSMDB or EMSABP), or the application would be appropriate.
Next, consider disappearing profiles, which often manifest as failure to open information stores. Referencing the data above, you should see that profile services are implemented in MAPI32. Therefore, MAPI32 would be a possibility for updating, as would be the application, because the application might be deleting its own profile.
What about profiles not being deleted? Profile deletion might be the work of the program (if it calls MAPI directly), the top level API (CDO), or, on rare occasions, the provider (MAPI). In this case, the application, CDO.dll, and MAPI32.dll are all good candidates for updates.
Next, consider problems with context specific data such as meeting requests, free/busy, or appointments. Updating MAPI32, the glue layer that provides interfaces to the providers, but does not store or interpret data is not likely to resolve the issue. EMSMDB, the agnostic storage provider, is also not a likely candidate. What about CDO? CDO implements the sets of properties that define specific classes of messages such as meeting requests. It has to agree with Outlook about how these properties work, and the behavior can be unpredictable. In this case, updating CDO.dll makes sense. Finally, there's the application. A number of applications have attempted to operate directly against the calendar data, often with disastrous results. Always consider the application.
In the following figure, anything in one layer that touches another layer talks directly to that layer. This figure is a generalization, not a flow diagram. For instance, Outlook can use CDO, and Outlook can in later versions communicate directly with EMSMDB. The vital things to note here are that only the providers actually communicate with the server, and that these providers do not talk directly to their counterpart DLLs on the server. That means that CDO on the client does not communicate with CDO on the server, nor does MAPI, EMSMDB, or EMSABP.
Application DLLs should be updated wherever they are used by the application. The following list gives some examples of when to update the DLLs:
If an application uses CDO, and CDO needs to be updated, update CDO where the application runs.
CDO uses MAPI32. If MAPI32 needs to be updated, update MAPI32 where it runs, which is by definition "Where CDO runs," which means "Where the application runs."
Applications use the providers through MAPI32. If the providers (EMSMDB or EMSABP) need to be updated, do so where MAPI32 runs.
Providers use remote procedure calls (RPCs) to talk to the server interface implementations. For EMSMDB32, this means it talks to Store.exe.
Question My application doesn't run on the server. Do the server binaries need to be the same version as the client?
Answer No. EMSMDB32 on the client does not communicate with EMSMDB32 on the server. It communicates with Store.exe.
Question Does MAPI32 on the client communicate with MAPI32 on the server?
Answer No, it does not. MAPI32 interfaces with the providers and the application.
Question Does CDO on the client communicate with CDO on the server?
Answer No, it does not. CDO interfaces with MAPI and the applications using it.
Question What if I have a CDO application that runs on the server?
Answer Update the binaries "Where the application runs." If your application runs on the server, update it there.
Question But I also have it running on another computer.
Answer Update where the binaries run. If it runs on the client, update it on the client. If it runs on the server, update it on the server. If the application runs on both, update both.
Question I have a third computer that runs this binary.
Answer Same answer: Update where the binaries run. If it runs on the client, update it on the client. If it runs on the server, update it on the server. If the application runs on both, update both.
The area of client and server versions of the Exchange Server Providers, MAPI32, EMSMDB, EMSABP and MSPST32 almost always causes confusion. The Exchange Server team wrote each of these DLLs originally, and the Outlook client used the server versions directly for years. However, as time passed, the DLLs diverged to meet different goals, even though they retain the same name. Starting with Microsoft Office Outlook 2000, Outlook shipped its own client optimized builds of MAPI32, EMSABP, and EMSMDB.
EMSMDB32 on the client was modified to support RPC canceling instead of waiting on the server as well as RPC over HTTP and Kerberos authentication. EMSMDB32 on the server went through a series of multithreading changes to improve performance for server applications. EMSABP32 on the client gained the ability to rebind to global catalog servers, where the server version originally did not. MAPI32 was further adapted to work well with third-party providers, while the server version received additional fixes to the temp profile provider.
CDO is almost exactly the same code on the server as it is on the client, but CDO.dll on the server does not have any security warning messages, as you would not want your system service displaying messages, asking if you want to access data. CDO.dll on the client, on the other hand, does show these messages, because e-mail worms are bad. Finally, MSPTS32, the PST provider, has grown far, far richer under Outlook than the original server version. The Outlook version supports Unicode PSTs, PSTs larger than 2 GB, and sundry other improvements. The server version is still the original. People often ask why the Mailbox Merge Wizard (Exmerge.exe) doesn't create PSTs larger than 2 GB. The answer is that the server version of the DLL is not capable of it.
For more information about how Outlook, CDO, MAPI, and providers work together, see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base articles

|Tommy Sands • The Songman • Discography • Programs • Tour Dates • Photos / Videos • Contact Info • News • Home
|Tommy Sands, County Down's singer, songwriter and social activist, has achieved something akin to legendary status in his own lifetime. From the pioneering tours with the highly influential Sands Family, playing Carnegie Hall to Moscow's Olympic Stadium, he has become one of Ireland's most powerful songwriters and enchanting performers. He enjoys celebrity status in many parts of the world, tempered by artistic integrity and the sorrow of personal tragedy in his war torn homeland.
Walking the road between two cultures, he dreams of an Island at peace with itself. Indeed, his songs speak to all that Ireland is, from its troubled past to its indomitable spirit and a vision of "a land of dreaming." And his work around the globe speaks to our common heritage, using music to bridge cultural differences. In this way he shares a vision with songwriters instigating social change such as Phil Ochs, Joan Baez, and close friend the late Pete Seeger.
With a new multi-media show based on his highly acclaimed autobiography and more concert dates than ever, Tommy continues to tour and is one of the most sought after performers in the world of folk music and beyond. His performances include concerts and educational programs at performing arts centers, folk clubs, and schools. The music moves from traditional Irish to contemporary folk, and Tommy's lyrics evoke images of Ireland and make edgier commentaries on social consciousness.

Six Black Friday trends we learned from performance marketing in 2015
With the dust settled on another record-breaking trading period, what does the underlying data tell us?
This year Affiliate Window's publishers generated £100m in revenue for 1,600 UK and US retailers across the four day Black Friday weekend bookended by Cyber Monday. That's a 46% hike in sales revenue for 2015.
Here are six underlying trends.
International ecommerce: Four things to consider when venturing into foreign markets
In 2012, we conducted research into how the recession had affected attitudes towards global trading opportunities.
We found that many of the respondents had been forced to rely heavily on global markets to maintain or grow their revenues.
Converting mobile browsers into buyers
As Econsultancy lists its 16 essential success factors for ecommerce checkouts, we have been revamping ours at Spreadshirt.
2014 saw an upswing people using their mobile devices not only to browse, but also to buy.
The trend extended to phones too, as consumers became increasingly confident in buying from their phones rather than waiting to make the final purchase from a desktop or laptop.
How does internationalisation work for online retailers?
If 95% of success is showing up then in online retail business the arrival of good platforms, cheap translation services and global banking means pretty much anyone can 'show up'.
The service can be transferred into the new market, the website translated, the new currency added and you're ready to sell to the new region.
Window shopping has gone virtual. Are you ready?
36% of the top 100 brand sites in the UK have not been optimised for mobile and yet we're seeing window shopping going virtual.
So if your mobile site isn't ready, you're missing out on the first stage of the buying process.
Even if shoppers don't trust their touch-screen devices enough to make the final purchase via a mobile connection, they are definitely using it to browse, share and fill up their baskets.
Sports Direct: check out those calls to action!
Sports Direct is brilliant. Ok, it had some problems last year as its reputation took a blow thanks to the retailer's use of zero hour contracts, but on the sales front, it's flying along.
New stores are opening, other sports retailers are being battered into submission and 2,000 staff members are to receive a cool £100k bonus after profits climbed by 40% to £200m last year.
With 12 languages and 10 currency options, the Sports Direct website should continue to aid the company's growing profits.
The website has been praised in many quarters. It's certainly easy to use and strongly conveys the brand's identity.
Visiting the site I was struck by just how good its calls to action are, and how easy it is to get around (unlike their stores). I thought I'd round up a few of the best bits.
Enjoy them in all their enormous garish glory. I think they're part of a growing lust for simplicity that is driving web design forward.
Reducing customer struggle: get mobile right the first time
Last week we all waited with baited breath to find out 'what' exactly Apple was going to launch at this year's World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC).
And when Tim Cook unveiled a new operating system and some product upgrades, many of us were a little disappointed, having hoped for a shiny new and exciting smart phone or tablet.
Australia: Traditional retailers are heading online... and e-tailers are heading off
Some of Australia's biggest retailers have recently spoken out at a conference in Melbourne saying that while selling online has the benefit of lower overheads, it is not yet as profitable as traditional bricks-and-mortar retailing.
Online sporting goods industry set to reach $1 billion in Australia
Australia's online sporting and physical recreation goods industry is expected to hit a huge $1.04 billion by 2018, thanks in large part to a changing retail landscape and an ageing population.
A new IBISWorld report has forecasted that online stores selling goods such as bicycles, camping equipment, exercise and fitness tools (excluding apparel) will see revenue increase by an annualised 6.3% over the next five years.
And one of the reasons for this expected rise in revenue is Australia's ageing population, who are focusing more on health and fitness after retirement.
Is editorial the new e in ecommerce?
Since the very first emergence of an add-to-basket logo, brands and publishers have been evolving their product content to create a more inspirational offering, one that can lead smoothly to a transaction.
However, the road from inspiration to transaction has often been a bumpy one.
Australian consumers turn to domestic online retailers
Australian consumers are shying away from international online retailers if the recent NAB Online Retail Sales Index is anything to go by.
Domestic retail accounted for almost three-quarters (73%) of total online sales in Australia in January 2013, and domestic online retail sales saw a higher year-on-year growth than international, rising 28% vs 25%.
Online shopping: China leads the pack in the Asia-Pacific region
It seems China has some of the keenest online shoppers in the Asia-Pacific region, with Chinese consumers more likely purchase online than any other APAC country.
A new Mastercard study measured consumers' tendencies to shop online between November and December 2012 and found that Chinese internet users shop online the most, registering a score of 102 on Mastercard's Index for 2012, a figure that is up four points on the year prior.
According to the report, one of the main reasons for this rise in online shopping popularity in China is due to increased consumer confidence. Of those surveyed, only 21.4% felt unsecure when shopping online, down from 32.8% in 2011 and 35.3% in 2010.

AMD 690 Chipset Preview - AMD Jumps Back on the Horse
AMD Gets a New Chipset
By my watch, AMD's last new chipset launch was in the middle of 2003 for the original Opteron platform release. AMD had at that point decided to focus on processors only and left the chipset market to its partners of VIA, NVIDIA, ATI, SiS and ULi. Since then, SiS and ULi have fallen to the bottom of the pack with VIA basically leaving the high end market and focusing only on the integrated video platforms.
When ATI was purchased by AMD last year, we all knew that one of the main goals to was to offer a "complete solution" like Intel has with the Centrino platform. That will come later, but for now, AMD is able to offer their first product release from the new combined company in the form of a budget integrated-video chipset for their own AM2 platform.
The AMD 690 Chipset
The AMD 690 chipset was known as the ATI RS690 chipset before the companies were combined; other than the name change everything looks the same as we expected from mid-2006.
The AMD 690 chipset uses the SB600 south bridge that was first introduced with the XPress 3200 chipset in March 2006. The features on the AMD 690 chipset are intriguing at first glance, to say the least. Support for DVI and HDMI outputs as well as two simultaneous outputs from the motherboard itself. Standard USB 2.0, SATA, HD Audio and PCI Express support round out the requirements for a modern chipset design.
This is also the first chipset to bring ATI's Avivo video technology into the integrated graphics market. Avivo is ATI's term for their technologies centered around improving image quality in video. The performance metrics above should be taken with a grain of salt until we see the results for ourselves, but Avivo is definitely a welcome additon to the AMD 690 feature list.
As mentioned above, the AMD 690 chipset is the first to offer integrated HDMI as well as the ability to output both HDMI and DVI at the same time. This could allow for some interesting dispaly scenarios.
AMD makes several mentions of the lack of gaming support from Intel's current 945G and 965G chipsets, like this one above. The integrated GPU on the AMD 690 isn't going to light anything on fire though as we'll see later in the review.
For obvious reasons, AMD's big push with the AMD 690 chipset is for the business sector -- they are finally able to offer a completely encompassing platform option to customers (with the processor, chipset and graphics cores all from the same company).
There are two different versions of the AMD 690 chipset that will be available starting today: the 690G and the 690V. The main difference between them is the lack of HDMI and DVI support on the lesser 690V.
As you can see, the list of motherboards that AMD has lined up for the 690 chipsets is impressive! Asus alone has 5 different models in the works.

Maple Syrup Trade Show Hits Wausau
Submitted: 01/11/2013
- We all love maple syrup on our pancakes and waffles, but here in Wisconsin it's more than a breakfast staple. It's a booming business. Today Wisconsin maple producers gathered at the "Winter Maple Institute and Maple trade show" in Wausau. The show gave producers a look at new technology and tips on maple tree health and climate change. Wisconsin produced 50 thousand gallons of syrup in 2012. Although that's down from 2011, producers like Steven Anderson say it's still sweet to be a maple syrup producer right now. "Our industry is in a good time right now. Things are going well, there's syrup around, there's a lot of expansion going on. For some reason our industry hasn't been as affected as much as others as the recession goes," said Steven Anderson of Anderson's Maple Syrup.The trade show continues into tomorrow, at the Plaza Hotel and Suites in Wausau, with breakout sessions and an auction of maple equipment and supplies.

A Legacy of Impact
What is the Foundation?
The Foundation, originally called the First Baptist Church Missions Foundation of Huntsville, Alabama, was created in 1997 as a separately incorporated, nonprofit, tax-exempt, public foundation through sponsorship of the membership of First Baptist Church of Huntsville, Alabama (FBC). In March, 2006, the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Foundation were amended to change the name of the Foundation to First Baptist Church Foundation of Huntsville, Alabama and to expand the purpose of the Foundation to include, in addition to the original Mission Fund, a Transportation Fund, a Capital Improvements and Facilities Maintenance Fund, and a Scholarship Fund. In August 2017, the Foundation Bylaws were amended to delete the Transportation Fund. The Foundation is governed by a rotating Board of Directors whose initial membership was selected from and approved by the membership of FBC. All subsequent board members must be members of FBC.
What is the purpose of the Foundation?
The purpose of the Foundation is to provide a means for members of FBC (and others), through direct contributions (cash and/or property) and/or the designation of a portion of their estates (will, trust agreement, or life insurance), to continue their Christian witness beyond their lives on earth. The principal amounts of all assets contributed to the Foundation are held in perpetuity with only the earnings from these assets being available for distribution in accordance with the Bylaws. Contributors to the Foundation will be asked to designate to which fund(s) any gift should be allocated. If the contributor does not wish to select a particular fund, the board will determine the appropriate distribution of the gift among the three funds. Once added to a fund, assets are not transferable between funds.
How are earnings from Foundation funds used?
The earnings from the Mission Fund shall be used to support mission tasks only where there is active involvement of members of FBC on site, on foreign or North American mission fields. Mission tasks considered for funding may include preaching, teaching, personal witnessing, home visitation, medical ministries, literature, clothing, food, construction, repair, or to assist in the purchase of land for a mission church where there is active involvement of members of FBC.
Earnings from the Capital Improvements and Facilities Maintenance Fund shall be used exclusively to make capital improvements and/or maintain the facilities and grounds at FBC.
Earnings from the Scholarship Fund shall be used exclusively for grants to members of FBC for study at an accredited institution of higher education. The program of study must be related directly to a church vocation.
Grants from each of the three funds will be made by the board in accordance with the requirements of the Bylaws and in response to specific proposals.
Are Contributions to the Foundation tax-deductible?
The FBC Missions Foundation is organized to meet the requirements and regulation as defined under Section 501 (C ) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code and further meets all federal and State of Alabama requirements such that contributions are non taxable. A memorandum of 6/7/2002, describes communications between IRS and the Foundation leading to final ruling by IRS that the Foundation is a public foundation with 501 (C) (3) tax exempt status. The Foundation is not required to pay income tax but is required to file annual returns. Form 990 for the three previous years are available for viewing.
How are contributions made to the Foundation?
There are several ways of transferring things of value to the Foundation such as listed below:
Direct contributions of cash or property. Direct cash contributions of any amount are accepted at any time by the Foundation. Many have found that a contribution to the Foundation is an excellent way to honor the memory of a deceased person or to honor a living person or group. Every gift is acknowledged to the giver, and the honoree or family of the honoree is notified of the gift. Gifts of real property, personal property or securities are accepted at any time.
Gifts by bequests. Bequests may be made for a fixed dollar amount, a percentage of the estate or a specific property such as real estate, securities, or tangible personal property. If you decide to include the Foundation in your will, the Board would like to know in order to help us plan for the future, but more importantly, to understand your wishes and to acknowledge your gift. However, it is not necessary to notify the board of your actions or intentions in that regard. The Board will hold in confidence anything you choose to share with the Board.
Gifts of Life Insurance. One may purchase a new policy or give an existing policy that has outlived its original purpose. Life insurance has become one of the most popular ways to contribute substantial sums for a relatively small investment.
Other Types of Gifts. There are various other plans of acceptable giving such as the creation of a Unitrust/Annuity Trust, Gift Annuity, or a Charitable Lead Trust.
Named Endowed Fund. For donors wishing to endow a Named Fund (that is, a fund named for an individual or group), a minimum gift of $25,000 would be accepted. The $25,000.00 gift could be given over a period of as much as five years. The principal of the fund would be protected in perpetuity by the Foundation.

UNC Ends UVa's Bowl Hopes 37-13
Charlottesville - Bryn Renner threw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter after a goal-line stand preserved North Carolina's lead and the Tar Heels ended Virginia's postseason hopes with a 37-13 victory Thursday night.
The Tar Heels (7-4, 4-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) were hanging onto a 20-13 lead when they stopped Kevin Parks for a 2-yard loss on fourth-and-goal from the 1. They then drove 97 yards in 12 plays, Renner capping the march with a 23-yard pass to a wide open Giovani Bernard over the middle for the TD.
A 5-yard completion to Erik Highsmith on fourth-and-2 came on the play just before the touchdown pass, and after Virginia (4-7, 2-5) was forced to punt on the ensuing possession, Renner's 20-yard TD pass to Highsmith finished it.
The Cavaliers had won two in a row and were hoping to win two more to qualify for a bowl game. They shut down Bernard, the ACC's runaway rushing leader, but were picked apart by Renner's precise passing.
He finished 29 for 36 for 315 yards and three touchdowns. His favorite target on the night was freshman Quinshad Davis, who caught 15 passes, one shy of the school record, for 174 yards.
Virginia now closes out its season a week from Saturday, November 24, at Virginia Tech.

Celebrate with Handel's "Messiah†Monday, November 01, 2010
Although only the first portion of Handel's oratorio focuses on the birth of Christ, it seems that performances of Messiah are most common around the holidays. Here in Central Ohio, fans of the work have at least two options for enjoying this powerful music:
Handel's Messiah
Columbus Symphony Orchestra & Chamber Chorus
The CSO is proud to present this masterwork in its entireity. Handel's best-loved work and a pillar of the choral and orchestral repertoire, Messiah will usher in the holiday season with two performances held at the Ohio Theatre on November 20 and 21. This audience favorite will be conducted by Ron Jenkins, and features soloists Heidi Grant Murphy, Jay Carter, C. Andrew Blosser, Andrew Foster-Williams and Jacob Stuckert.
Messiah Sing-Along
ProMusica Chamber Orchestra
ProMusica invites the Columbus community to the Southern Theatre to enjoy favorite holiday classics including selections from Handel's Messiah. Orchestra students and music directors from partner high schools join ProMusica musicians onstage for an evening filled with holiday cheer. Bring friends, families and church choirs to join us at the Southern and raise your voice in song.
If you are planning to sing Messiah yourself this season, Stanton's can help you prepare. We always have plenty of copies of the G. Shirmer and Watkins Shaw editions in stock, as well as several other less-used versions. You can practice your part on your own with the Do-It-Yourself Messiah or Learn Handel's Messiah CDs. There are also several of the choruses from Messiah available as single choral octovos for your church or school choir. Please contact us with any questions you may have about Messiah publications!

UCLA holds off Michigan, 9-6
May 16, 2010
Courtesy of UCLA Athletics
SAN DIEGO - The No. 3 seed UCLA Bruins women's water polo team (22-8) came out firing on all cylinders, jumping out to a 6-2 lead after the first period and never looked back, beating Michigan (32-7) 9-6 in the fifth-place match of the 2010 NCAA Women's Water Polo Championship at the Aztec Aquaplex in San Diego on Sunday afternoon (May 16).
"I'm really proud of my team today," UCLA Head Coach Brandon Brooks said. "I'm really proud with how we came out. We had a lot of energy and executed really well. We came out and did a great job of talking to each other. The defense was very solid like it has been the second half of the year. We were faced with a tough road after losing on the first day and we responded about as well as you could."
The Bruins got on the board first when Grace Reynolds beat Michigan goalie Alex Adamson on the first possession of the match with 7:37 to go in the first period. Reynolds made it 2-0 at the 6:40 mark with a skip shot that scored on UCLA's second possession. The Wolverines scored their first goal on a penalty shot by Lauren Orth with 6:18 left in the opening period. Reynolds continued her hot hand, completing a hat trick on a 6-on-5 opportunity with 5:43 remaining in the first, giving UCLA a 3-1 lead. UCLA scored another exclusion goal with 4:45 left, this one by KK Clark, to lead 4-1. Michigan made it 4-2 with 4:20 left when Lauren Colton scored from point-blank range, beating Bruin goalkeeper Caitlin Dement. Priscilla Orozco put UCLA up 5-2 with 3:49 on an exclusion goal, marking the Bruins' fifth-straight goal on five consecutive possessions. Orozco made it six straight possessions with a score when her screw shot beat Adamson to make it 6-2 with 3:04 left in the first period. Michigan got a stop on a Bruin power play on UCLA's seventh possession to stop the scoring streak. But the damage had been done with the Bruins holding a 6-2 lead after the first period.
"That's always your plan -- score on all your possessions, which would be nice," Brooks said. "The plan was definitely to come out strong, come out aggressive. I didn't know we scored on the first six possessions, but we did that well. It's a tribute to how strong we are emotionally and how much we have grown since last September."
Michigan made a switch in the cage to start the second period, subbing in Morgan Turner. UCLA scored on a counter attack to open the scoring for the second period as Orozco completed her hat trick on a goal with 4:15 left to put the Bruins up 7-2. That would be the only score of the second stanza as the Bruins took a 7-2 lead at the break. Dement was stellar in goal for UCLA as she recorded six saves in the first half for the Bruins.
"I thought at first I'd feel more motivated and have a lot of emotions in the game," Reynolds said. "I wanted to go out and give it all I've got and that is what the team did as well."
Michigan scored first in the third on a 6-on-5 play when Alison Mantel fired a shot past Dement in the upper corner to make it 7-3 with 5:01 to go. Orozco scored her fourth goal of the day, and the Bruins' fourth consecutive goal, when she pulled off a 360 move and fired a shot past Turner, giving the Bruins an 8-3 lead with 3:00 minutes left in the third period. The Wolverines trimmed the lead to 8-4 when Kiki Golden fired a shot cross-cage on a power play with 1:21 left in the third. UCLA led 8-4 at the end of three quarters.
Turner stopped a penalty shot by Clark early in the fourth period to keep Michigan within striking distance. Clark scored her second goal of the day and the first of the fourth period when she caught Turner off her line and fired one into the middle of the net from nine meters out, giving UCLA a 9-4 advantage with 3:02 remaining in the match. Cara Reitz then caught Dement off her line and made it 9-5 with her first goal of the match with 2:08 left. Michigan closed the scoring at 9-6 on a breakaway goal with six seconds left in the match by Leah Robertson.
Dement ended the match with nine saves for UCLA while Turner recorded five for Michigan and Adamson picked up one for the Wolverines in the first period.
"Emotionally, it was a little hard," Dement said. "It wasn't really hard to play, but emotionally coming off of losing and not making it to the top the four and being on the other side of the bracket was a little difficult, but it is still the same game."

The Last Action Hero
How Jason Statham became the world's biggest B-movie star.
Jason Statham's greatness announced itself early in his acting career—88 seconds into his motion picture debut, to be precise, in the opening sequence of Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (1998). Statham plays Bacon, a small-time criminal peddling stolen merchandise ("Handmade in Italy, hand-stolen in Stepney") on a London street corner. Suddenly, the police show up; Bacon and his accomplice take flight; and then, rounding a rain-slickened corner with a suitcase under his arm, he nearly tips over, performing a ridiculous little shuffle-step at an almost-45-degree angle to the pavement, his feet moving furiously but his forward motion momentarily stalled, like Wile E. Coyote in the instant before he realizes he has run out of clifftop road and is about to plummet 5,000 feet into a canyon. Whereupon Bacon regains his footing, vaults a barrier, and spills the entire contents of his suitcase as he races down a flight of stairs.
This is the essence of Statham-ism, a mix of bionic brute force and slapstick—Robocop meets Keystone Cops. It's a formula that has made Statham the biggest action hero going: Since 2001, Statham star vehicles have grossed $500 million worldwide. Currently, Statham is the face of two hit franchises: The Transporter, whose latest sequel, Transporter 3 (2008), earned more than $100 million, and Crank, whose second installment, Crank: High Voltage, arrives in theaters this Friday with the irresistible tag line "He was dead … But he got better."
For those keeping count, that's one more action movie franchise than any other Hollywood leading man can claim, unless you want to put a check-mark in Vin Diesel's column based on his voice-over work in the Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay video game. But Statham is largely unsung. Critics prefer Matt Damon's Jason Bourne movies—and why wouldn't they? With their virtuoso camerawork and existentialist overtones, the Bourne films are action flicks for cinéastes, and Damon's performances are admirably taut and understated. Of course, Damon is a thespian. Jason Statham is merely the biggest B-movie star in the world.
It's a distinction Statham has won through charm, which is unlikely since so much of his time on-screen is spent snapping necks and braining his adversaries with firehose nozzles. He has underdog appeal, coming across as a harried Everyman even as he performs superhuman feats of ass-kicking. In nearly all his films, he plays regular Joes: two-bit crooks (Snatch, Revolver, The Bank Job), law-enforcement lifers (The One, Chaos, War), a hard-luck ex-racecar driver (Death Race), and in the almost unwatchable fantasy epic In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008), a humble farmer named, um, Farmer, who leads a ragtag army against the legions of the evil wizard Gallian. His suavest character, the Transporter series' Frank Martin, is also a working stiff. He's a chauffeur, a freelance courier hired to ferry stuff—contraband, bound-and-gagged Asian women—from Point A to Point B, no questions asked. In the opening scene of Transporter 2, Martin beats up five thugs who try to steal his car. "I have an appointment," he explains. "I don't like to be late." He's an action hero for economic downtimes: a contract worker stressed out about losing his clients.
Although his films don't always call for it, Statham can act. Guy Ritchie's movies have a way of bringing out the worst in actors—the macho over-emoting that ramps up absurdly amid explosions of Cockney rhyming slang. But in Lock, Stock, and Snatch (2000), and Revolver (2005), Statham got his parts just right, channeling the daffy spirit of the original Cockney caper movies, Ealing Studio classics like The Ladykillers (1955). He can do dramatic roles: He was touching as the car-salesman-tuned-heist-leader in the '70s period piece The Bank Job. And in the big popcorn movies, he has a knack for delivering stupid dialogue like he means it. It takes a special performer to bellow, "Tomorrow, we gouge evil from its shell!" like Statham does in Name of the King—with real feeling, without a hint of shame, while wearing a "medieval" tunic that looks like a bathrobe.
Statham's real genius, of course, is physical. Jaw clenched, sinews tensed, pate gleaming, Statham churns across the screen, as aerodynamic as the Audi A8 he drives in the Transporter movies. (Given a choice, you'd rather collide with the car than the chauffeur.) The athleticism is not a special effect. Before getting into acting, Statham was a member of the British National Diving Team. And he is an accomplished mixed martial artist, which explains his finesse in the kinetic Transporter fight scenes and in the climactic showdown in War (2007), where Statham and Jet Li face off, armed with sledgehammers and shovels. In fact, Statham's combination of brawn and flair is very Li-esque, very Hong Kong. Turns out, Hollywood's biggest Asian action star in years is a white guy from Sydenham, South London.
The actor Statham most closely resembles is another Hong Kong great, Jackie Chan, whose physical comedy emphasizes the zaniness of violence. Like Chan, Statham is madcap—never more so than in his best film, Crank (2006). Crank has a ludicrous premise: Statham plays Chev Chelios, a hitman who is injected by a rival with a poison that stops the flow of adrenaline, gradually slowing the victim's heartbeat to a standstill. To stay alive, Chev must keep his adrenaline surging, which he accomplishes by rampaging across Los Angeles, leaving a trail of shattered glass, ruined shopping malls, decapitated lawn jockeys, and dead Triad gangsters. He injects drugs, steals police motorcycles, forces an E.R. doctor at gunpoint to "juice" him with a jolt from a defibrillator. In one memorable scene, Chev gets a natural adrenaline boost by having rough sex with his girlfriend Eve (Amy Smart) on a Chinatown street corner while a throng of onlookers gape and cheer.
Crank's co-directors, Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, do not disguise their amusement at the movie's plot device, upping the ante with each new set piece, as they whip their cameras around showily and flood their frames with day-glo colors. Statham, meanwhile, hurls himself into his role, milking the scenes for all their screwball potential. The spectacle of Statham sprinting through the sun-strafed L.A. streets wearing only a hospital gown, socks, and sneakers brings to mind not just Chan but the breakneck antics of Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd.
The Transporter movies are less frantic than Crank, but they have their own tour de force sequences. In Transporter 3, Statham's Frank Martin steers his Audi off a bridge and into a lake to avoid being shot, surviving for several minutes underwater by breathing the air that he sucks out of his car's tires. Forget Jason Bourne and the riddle of existence: It's in moments of deadpan hilarity like this—when the bug-eyed Transporter wraps his lips around the valve of a Goodyear radial—that Jason Statham offers an edifying theory of action cinema.
The Bourne pictures (and other movies of their ilk) try to have it both ways, endowing their heroes with superhero powers that they present in a gritty, verité style. But Statham revels in the artifice and absurdity of an art form that suspends all physical and metaphysical laws, that gives us a guy dangling from a minute hand above the bustling midtown grid and an archeologist outrunning a giant boulder—that shows us a man driving his car into a lake and, minutes later, shows us the same man, careening across dry land in the same car, in a suit as crisply pressed as it was before man, car, and couture got dunked. Call them action-adventure movies if you like. The truth is, they're comedies, and they're telling a joke that never gets old: He was dead … but he got better.

Cin over at Foodstufffinds has recently been investigating in to a potential recipe change for Cadbury Mini Eggs (See HERE). To help her out I went and bought a pack myself, and I have to say I agree with her findings.
My own observations are that Cadbury have somehow managed to make these taste even sweeter than before. I think that this is because the shells are even thicker than they used to be, making them even more dominant flavour wise. As you can tell from my review below I am no Mini Egg lover so I could well be wrong here!?
What do you guys think?? Have you noticed any differences?
Kcal 15 Fat 0.6g Fat(sats) 0.4 (per Mini Egg)
Similar to the famous Creme Egg, these are another seasonal Caburys product that only make an appearance around Easter time - good thing I picked some up today then.
Cadburys Mini Eggs are small sized solid chocolate eggs encased in a thin sugary shell. They look absolutely stunning and the colours as you can see above are very authentic and make them look particulalry individual.
Aswell as the sugary shells making them look impressive, they also add a nice crunch to the product and this plays off well against the solid chocolate. The solid chocolate centres were standard Cadbury quality, and offered the same sweet, creamy tasting goodness you get with all Cadburys Chocolate products.
Unfortunately despite the sugar shells really being the unique point of the product, they also brought about the products greatest problem. I found that after about ten mini eggs the taste of the sugary shells became more and more dominant. I found these Mini Eggs extremely sweet tasting, and at times overpowered the chocolate completely just leaving me with a very artificial sugar taste in my mouth.
Overall these are a pleasant product in moderation, but I find the taste quickly becomes monotonous and quite sickly. I would say these would be fine to have round the house/work place to enjoy when you fancy the odd nibble, but I cannot recommend these as being a 'great chocolate product'. I think that despite their strong roots with being seen as a classic Easter product there are better alternatives out there to be enjoyed this holiday season.

I set in .htaccess

what else I can do? could it be database timeout?
a bit disappointed, but anyway great app, still use it locally.

but it seems like server error because of timeout, so there is no error inside application, so that's why I'm going to run debugger on install to see where it stumbled.

I'm ask, cuz I think the error it's caused by sql query.. ohh, i'm not sure yet
I'm using
insert into table (field1, field2) values (1.2), (3.4), (5.6);
when it should
insert into (field1, field2) values (1.2); insert into (field1, field2) values (3.4); insert into (field1, field2) values (5.6);
Posted 02 April 2012 - 01:09 PM
My problem is related to the production file like i posted above. If manually override your code with the db.php file information the installer worked ( But i also updated the with the files directly)
Posted 02 April 2012 - 01:27 PM
to change between dev and production you have to edit celestic/index.php - YII_DEBUG true of false .. db.php its used by prod and dev environments..
It's almost the same configuration.. the main differents are logs messages

MySQL version 5.1.61-cll - shared hosting (not working)
I made some tests and found an error or issue somewhere in the file mysql_schema.sql (when I exclude this file, everything's OK)
I'll try to exclude some sql statements and locate the problem.
Posted 06 April 2012 - 10:28 PM
I located the problem in the
commented out lines 36-39
// while (ob_get_level() > 0) // { // ob_end_flush(); // }
looks like an indefinite loop.
According to http://au.php.net/ma...b-get-level.php ob_get_level has a quite funny behaviour.
The stars just are not in my favor on shared hosting
Hope it helps if someone has the same problem with installation.
Posted 08 April 2012 - 01:12 PM
I guess the error occurs when ob_get_level is disabled on shared hosting ..
there something else.. I made the mistake of using methods ob_*() without using ob_start() .. if you have free time you can try making the following changes on databaseConfiguration file
//line 15 .. ob_start(); //line 36 .. while (@ob_get_level() > 0)
Posted 08 April 2012 - 06:50 PM
Your patch hasn't helped, I've got a time-out again(((
Oh, man, you make me to do weird things, I mean reading docs))
ob_get_level always returns 1 or greater value for PHP with setting zlib.output_compression to "On".
I have gzip compression on my shared hosting.
So, it would be nice if you modify your script to check compression somehow
if (zlib_get_coding_type()) $limit = 1; else $limit = 0; while (ob_get_level() > $limit) { ....
this works for both shared and local hosting (at least for me))
Posted 08 April 2012 - 10:19 PM
thank you man for your help.. I've tested in 4 different servers and never got the error..
now with your correction.. i'll update the code and upload in the next version..
Posted 24 April 2012 - 04:34 PM
Very nice application, thanks for sharing it with us.
I really want to try to work with it involving my team.
Sadly, something is missing for me: a help file.
Not for installing but for using the application.
Do you have something that explain in depth the logic behind the app?
On first impression all is clear, but if you want to start a real environment, you have to know exactly the logic.
Looking forward for your answer,

A baby girl born with her heart outside her chest survived a high-risk surgery and doctors believe she will have a healthy, long life.
The New York Daily News is reporting Audrina Cardenes is recovering at Texas Children's Hospital after being born five weeks earlier with a normally fatal condition called ectopia cordis, which according to the hospital's official blog, is when a baby's heart is located either partially or totally outside the chest.
"I personally have only seen this condition a few times in my career and these are always very tricky cases," said Surgeon-in-Chief Dr. Charles D. Fraser. "In fact, many of these babies do not survive."
According to the hospital's blog, Cardenes' mother discovered her baby's condition during an ultrasound 16 weeks into the pregnancy. She was then given three options: to terminate the pregnancy, opt for comfort care, or attempt risky surgery after birth. She chose surgery and was then referred to Texas Children's Fetal Center from her home in Midland, Texas.
"Although her future prognosis is still uncertain, Audrina is currently thriving and making progress each day," said Fraser. "She will continue to be carefully followed by a multidisciplinary team and will require specialized care by a pediatric cardiologist for the rest of her life."
The New York Daily news stated that a team of surgeons performed the surgery, placing the baby's heart back in her chest. The hospital's blog reveals only eight out of one million babies are born with this condition and 90% of them are either stillborn or die within the first three days of life.
The medical team is currently monitoring the child.
"Audrina is a true fighter and we are hopeful that she will continue to progress," said Fraser. "I am also hopeful that Audrina's case marks the beginning of our ability to care for more children diagnosed with ectopia cordis in the future."

Entries for the upcoming TTXGP have been announced, and five teams have entered to run the Isle of Man on electric wheels. Mission Motors, EVO Design Solutions, Kingston University, Brammo, and Motorczysz will make up the field. The teams have just 64 more days to get their bikes ready for competition, which could be a tall order for some of them, whose bikes still only exist as CAD drawings.
We have a very reserved opinion on how TTXGP will go down. While these teams have been able to gain a great deal of attention in the blogsphere about their projects, it would seem virtually all of them haven't actually built even a prototype yet (excluding Brammo). In the tech industry, we call this Vaporware, and with less than 10 weeks before race day, we have a hard time conceiving how all these teams will be able to deliver in this short of a time frame. Never-the-less, the TTXGP will be a big day not only for electric motorcycle racing, but also for electric motorcycles in general. Continue reading for a description of each team from their press releases.
